    Oscarmax thanks for the link the Screwfix item is rated ip54 which is less than the Hyundai one rated as ip65 and should be able to withstand direct jets of water through a direct nosel from a distance of 6.5mm.

    Hyundia are stating this but not honouring the warranty if there is an ingress of water.

    I will publish an email content I received from Hyundia UK stating the charger information.

    Below are the details about our EV charger for your KONA ELECTRIC

    Description
    This waterproof (IP65 rated) 10 amp charger is suitable for use with the Hyundai Kona and uses a standard domestic UK 3 pin socket outlet.

    If your daily mileage is less than 85 miles this charger is perfect for your electric vehicle.

    Why purchase an expensive home charger when this will do the job?

    The EV Extras charger is rated at 10 Amp (UK law to protect domestic circuits against overload and fire risk) and delivers 2.3kW of charge.

    The 10 amp charging rate translates in more real world language to approximately 1 mile of range for every 6-9 minutes of charging (around 7 to 10 miles of range added per hour of charge)* which adds 85 to 120 miles of range to any electric vehicle or plug in hybrid vehicle when placed on a 12 hour overnight charge.

    Our chargers are designed to be as compact and as lightweight as possible reducing the space and weight within the vehicle when charging away from home.

    The 13 Amp socket needs to be plugged in either indoors or into a waterproof/ weather rated outdoor socket and available in either 5, 7 or 10 metre lengths.

    All chargers in stock in the UK.

    Suitable for use with the Hyundai Kona  and the following makes and models of vehicles

     

    Kind regards
